Hey everyone--thanks for the comments!
Yeah--the base definitely leaves something to be desired--I was just trying to use what I had on hand. On a tight budget, and boy is it KILLIN' me!!
It's funny--the helmet looks fairly worn when you can see the real thing, but I guess when the flash hits the figure it just lights the white up to a perfectly new look. Weird. I'll see if I can work on that a little bit, though, and get some other pics up.
The face--yeah, that started out a little too yellow. More than anything, it was the base color that I used. Just way too yellow, and the green plastic underneath didn't help either. I think with a bit of color the face would look a ton better. Also the detail on the face was just too blobby--not real sharp or anything. I guess that I need to buy a figure that is better detailed next time. Anyone have any suggestions?
I also have to admit that I got a bit too hasty with the K98 sling--just didn't attach the thing right. I may pull it off and have another go!
Thanks for all the comments, guys. Seriously, I've learned a lot! Now onto the next one!
